Man down.

Here I am sitting in the library in my massive orange computer helper T-shirt.

But I can't help.

The systems are down, or some bits of them are anyway and many a student is frantic as they have a deadline tomorrow.

What the problem is, nobody knows. Its one of those mysterious 'our servers are experiencing problems' things. Now I may be pesamistic, but thats always what they say, nobody ever gets more information as to the cause and it takes them a billion geek hours to fix. Why do servers go wrong so much and what causes it? I reckon Gates should investigate that and if he solves it he will then own all the money in the world as apposed to 3/4 of it.

Mac's never go down.

Oooohhh contraversial. Thought I would throw that in there as a new man to the Mac world and thus far the Mac is quite reliable. But I don't buy into that which is more reliable nonsense as EVERYONE knows computers just sometimes decide to break. its a bit like cars, one day they just can't be fucked and so sit there doing nothing and nobody can work out why. Turn them off an on again...well its like magic.

Anyway, the point being, isn't it funny how much it screws up modern society! The computer - the power house of all education, business and such like are fucked! They grind to a halt. Students miss deadlines, workers spend an afternoon cleaning their desks. Shambles. What I find funny is that nobody can do anything. There are no fail safe's or back up procedures. It's computer or nothing.

Glad I don't work in IT!
